Over the 21 years of its existence, Eskom Development Foundation (the Foundation) has made a meaningful contribution to the social and economic development where Eskom Holdings SOC Ltd (Eskom) operates in South Africa.
Throughout these years, the Foundation has been able to execute vibrant and dynamic programmes that enable it to remain relevant in the changing landscape of corporate social investment (CSI). We have invested in various programmes, in line with the Foundation mandate. These include enterprise development, rural infrastructure development, skills development, social development, education and health, as well as philanthropy and welfare.
Despite the ever-changing environment and challenging circumstances, the Foundation has been able to deliver programmes with demonstrable impact and sustainability.
At the Foundation, we believe investing in the people of South Africa is the foundation of the country’s socio-economic success and sustainability. We are dedicated to building a healthier, better educated, safer and more skilled population that is positive about our country and motivated to grab the opportunities that empower them to live fulfilled lives. People who believe in themselves and in the future are the building blocks of South Africa’s social and economic success. To reach this goal, we focus on projects that change people’s lives for the better.
As our economy faces an uphill battle for growth, everyone needs to join in this fight for the benefit of all South Africans and assist in improving the poor’s access to meaningful jobs so they can fully participate in the economy thus improving their quality of life.
Included in the highlights, the Foundation received the following recognition for 2018:
• As one of the top three for the Sunday Times Top Brands survey in the Community Upliftment category
• An award from the International Partnership Network Global Best Awards
• An African Gold Award for the Eskom Contractor Academy Programme aimed at the development of small and medium enterprises
The Foundation has also won the 2019 National Science and Technology Forum Award in the non-governmental organisation (NGO) category for its work with the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists. It was rewarded for its technology transfer, education and training activities.
The Foundation operated as a department reporting to Eskom's Corporate Affairs Division during the 2017/18 financial year. It has reverted back to operate as a non-profit company from 1 April 2018. Subsequent to that, Eskom revised and approved the organisational structure, with the Foundation as one of the subsidiaries currently reporting to the Chief Financial Officer.

SECTOR PERFORMANCE
ESKOM DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION NPC | 98 | FOUNDATION REPORT | 31 MARCH 2019
Eskom Business Investment Competition
The Foundation launched the annual Eskom Business Investment Competition (BIC) in 2009 with a view to recognise, reward and inspire small businesses that are significantly contributing to the fight against South Africa’s biggest socio-economic challenges: unemployment and poverty.
The BIC rewards outstanding work in entrepreneurship and encourages small and medium enterprises to thrive and lead the country’s economic development. The competition is open to South African black-owned and registered small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that have been operating for more than 24 months in the agriculture and agri-processing, engineering and construction, manufacturing, as well as trade and services sectors.
Overall winner: Prodeliver GroupProdeliver Group is based in Sandton, Johannesburg and provides logistics, mining services transportation of commodities and palletised materials.

Engineering and construction category winner: Blessing.ConnectBlessing.Connect is based in Boksburg, East Johannesburg and offers construction services, architectural designs as well as fabrication of metal works, heaters and ventilation systems. Some of its clients are Actom, KSB Pumps and Valves, and City of Ekurhuleni. The Managing Director, Mbali Mavuso, established the business in 2012 while working for a company that specialised in designing servers. The company has 12 permanent and eight temporary employees.
Manufacturing category winner: Emilio’s Gourmet FoodsEmilio’s Gourmet Foods is South Africa’s first premium gourmet popcorn brand. It creates handcrafted premium gourmet popcorn and assorted confectionary. Founder and director Emile Alexander started the business in 2015. Now with ten employees, the company has a store in Montecasino and will be opening another one in Fourways Mall in 2018.
Trade and services category: Southside Plumbing and ConstructionSouth Side Plumbing and Construction is based in Eldorado Park, Johannesburg and provides specialised services in plumbing and construction. The company was started in 2015 by Peter Lengweng and married couple, Jonathan and Cathy Khan. They are contracted with insurance companies that handle claims on behalf of their clients, who are the end-users. Now with 45 permanent and 20 part time employees, the company wants to branch out into other provinces.
With R1.3 million worth of prizes, the competition helps enterprises take their operations to the next level. Over and above the financial rewards, business skills and training are provided to contribute towards sustainability.
The overall winner for 2018 took home a cash prize of R300 000 while winners in each of the sectors received R125 000; first and second runners-up in each sector received R75 000 and R50 000 respectively. Prizes included a cash component to invest into their businesses, as well as a series of training workshops to gain or harness their business skills.
In addition, all finalists were given fully subsidised exhibition space at the annual three-day Small Business Expo held at the Ticketpro Dome in Johannesburg. Every year, the expo provides SMEs with a versatile marketing platform from which to build brand awareness and network with potential customers and investors.
The team of adjudicators was impressed by the quality of the 2018 competition applicants. The finalists showcased their excellent business skills, professionalism and passion for their businesses as they competed for top honours. Despite the fierce competition, the adjudicators all agreed that they had found a worthy winner in Johannesburg-based Prodeliver Group.
Simama Ranta High School Entrepreneurship Education CompetitionThe Simama Ranta competition is aimed at identifying and rewarding South African secondary schools that are exemplary and leading the way in entrepreneurship education. The Eskom Foundation believes that one of the best ways to curb youth unemployment proactively is to teach the youth at school level to consider entrepreneurship as a viable career choice. Instead of studying to be job seekers, they should learn the skills to start and run successful businesses and in so doing, become job creators.
All South African intermediate and secondary schools are eligible to enter. To qualify for the competition, applicant schools must be responsive to the 11 principles of good practice in the provision of in-school entrepreneurial education (EE):
• The school uses a clear and practical definition of entrepreneurship which includes thinking, feeling and doing
• EE uses quality classroom content across a range of subjects which fit within the curriculum statement
• Teachers involved follow innovative facilitation approaches to teaching
• Continuous teacher development takes place in EE
• In-the-classroom EE theory is linked to the practice thereof within extra-mural activities
• A culture of entrepreneurship which focuses on learner development is created at school through engagement of all stakeholders
• Agreed-upon aims and objectives by the school’s EE measure achievement, direct efforts and generate new strategies
• Learners initate, lead and secure support from the school for their EE projects to enhance self-motivation
• Co-ownership of EE in the school is being illustrated through joint action which involves staff, management and the Department of Basic Education (DBE)
• Learners of the school receive exposure to career options open to entrepreneurs
• The school makes use of effective outreach and networking strategies which are integral to the provision of EE
ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT
ESKOM DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION NPC | 1110 | FOUNDATION REPORT | 31 MARCH 2019
Education with Enterprise Trust (EWET) is a South African non-profit organisation that delivers in-school entrepreneurial education. It has designed and executed the competition based on the Foundation’s specifications since 1994, and continues to support the Foundation in the execution of the Eskom Simama Ranta Competition.
Promotions and solicitation of entries to attain impact on scale: Each of the national and provincial winning schools of Eskom Simama Ranta since 2010, known as National Entrepreneurship Education Schools and Provincial Entrepreneurship Education Schools serve as ambassadors, promotors and enablers for new participants in the competition. This role is being reinforced through 16 provincial awards functions hosted by the winning schools where the awards money is handed over by Eskom’s provincial commercial managers. The awards were held between January and March 2018.
The 2018 event was also promoted in September 2017 during the Youth Entrepreneurship Simama Ranta Expo where 1 000 competition booklets were distributed. Further promotions were done through workshops; site visits; EWET partners (Limpopo Department of Economic Development Environment and Tourism – LEDET); Department of Basic Education (DBE)officials; postage; emails; faxes and advocacy meetings with different stakeholders nationally. A total of 5 000 booklets were distributed to schools nationwide.
The breakdown of distributions is as follows:

• Free State – 760
• Gauteng – 750
• KwaZulu-Natal – 670
• Limpopo – 590
• Mpumalanga – 450
• Northern Cape – 380

• Western Cape – 360
The prize money for the overall winning school club is R100 000. Each provincial winner receives R50 000, provincial first and second runners-up each receive R25 000 and R10 000 respectively. In addition, the provincial winners are invited to exhibit their work at the annual Small Business Expo. In the 2018 finals, 28 schools from across South Africa attended the Simama Ranta Awards function where the overall and provincial winners were announced.

ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT continued
Usasazo’s Youth Enterprise Society (YES) club has 60 learner members. They take part in a variety of activities:
Making wooden tables and flower holders: Special and unique products that come with a solar light that switches on automatically when it is dark. The product also has an electric light.
Fast food shop: The YES club saw the need for selling fast food such as fish and vetkoek, regular chips, burgers, etc. not being met even though the demand was high in the community. With a starting capital of R2 500, it was able to increase this to R6 000 within a month. The shop has proved to be quite successful. “This is a growing business in our school; we bought equipment to the value of R26 000, which included a popcorn machine, a chip cutter, a deep fryer, a deep freezer, a cake mixer and tables.”
Renting out graduation gowns: Funds won from the Department of Economic Development and Tourism Premier’s Entrepreneurship Recognition Awards in the Western Cape in 2016 were used to gain ownership of graduation gowns, neckbands and hats. These are then hired out to learners within the school and the greater
Khayelitsha community. As the YES club is the only local supplier of these gowns, control measures have been put in place to safeguard them. “From October 2017 to date we have raised R12 600 through hiring gowns.” There is a target to generate a profit of R60 000 in the coming year as the proceeds are being used to support future projects, assist learners and children in need and upgrade the school.
Event management (talent show): A modelling and talent show was organized by the YES club in March 2018 and April 2018 respectively to assist in raising funds for the Grade 12 matric camp. The success of these events has encouraged the club to host more events in the future.
Wooden dustbins: The dustbins are carved from wood and then sold at the school.
Painting and drawings: Learners are provided with an opportunity to explore their talents with the supply of materials for the art pieces by the YES club. Their creations are then put up for sale with the hope of them being able to make a living out of their work.
The 2018 overall winner of the competition was Usasazo Senior Secondary School (Khayelitsha) from the Western Cape.

The adjudication processThe adjudication process was done in two stages. The first stage of screening, sifting and ranking of POEs was done by EWET staff members i.e. Ms Tshidi Sekopa, Mr Solomon Kabanda, Ms Mamahase Mosheshe and Mr Moeketsi Khumalo. The same process was followed by EWET partners in Limpopo; LEDET officials Messrs Lucky Phosa and Lethabo Rakgwale; and DBE officials Ms Collen Ntuli and Mr Phillip Molala.
The assessment criterion was based on the 11 principles. All entries received were screened. Altogether 291 application forms were received, 82 POEs were of good substance with 28 top performing schools in the country identified in terms of their performance in entrepreneurship.
The second stage of adjudication was done by a panel to determine the winning school per province and the overall winner on the 16 to 18 August 2018 at Zulu Nyala Hotel, Chartwell, Fourways. Usasazo High School from Khayelitsha Township, Metro East Education District, Western Cape was announced at the awards ceremony on 5 September 2018 at the Indaba Hotel, Fourways, Johannesburg.
The national panel consisted of representatives from the further education and training phase of business, commerce and management; the general education and training phase of economic and management sciences (EMS); and the National Department of Basic Education office. The panel was chaired by DBE national representatives Mr Peter van Wyk and Ms Keitumetse Morare assisted by EWET Trustee Ms Nomshado Matselane. The adjudicators were from the Department of Education:
• Eastern Cape: Mr Ntlaka Mkhuseli and Mr Lulamile Tyali
• Free State: Ms Degratia Seipobi and Mr Jimmy Mehlo
• Gauteng: Ms Mabota Ndlela and Ms Thabang Letlotlo
• KwaZulu-Natal: Ms Vuyi Ngwenya and Mr Ayethaba Ntuli
• Limpopo: Mr Phillip Molala
• Mpumalanga: Mr Mzwakhe Skhosana and Ms Joyce Strydom
• Northern Cape: Ms Yvonne Twerefoo and Ms Grace Dunn
• North West: Mr Nteo Mohlamme and Ms Pauline Seabo
• Western Cape: Mr Thando Sikiti and Mr Leicester Momberg
The process was fair and transparent and all the entries were assessed based on the 11 principles as applied in their submitted POEs and their performance in the interviews. The learners and the educators who were representing these schools gained substantial information regarding their scores for adjudication and feedback from the panel that will assist them to improve their projects and entrepreneurial activities.
EWET Partners from LEDET officials, Messrs Lucky Phosa, Lethabo Rakgwale and Abe Mokhahlane attended this session as observers to offer support to Limpopo schools.

Outcomes of the presentations/workshops The session that was facilitated by Mr Peter Van Wyk, Chief Education Specialist – EMS assisted the teachers with more information about the adjudication processes and the common mistakes that the learners make during presentations. Mr Peter Van Wyk was also available to address their content-related questions. Teachers from the 28 winning schools were awarded with a Certificate of Recognition for their excellence within the provision of in-school EE.
There was huge improvement this year in terms of attendance and the way each topic was presented. The presenters, both teachers and learners, were well prepared for their sessions and intensive research was done.
Teachers and learners from different schools were able to learn from their team members. Learners from Leshata High took part in presenting some of the topics in the workshops. The workshops were a good platform to develop the learners’ public speaking skills and to build their self-confidence.
We also had visitors from schools around the country; i.e. Leshata High, Hoërskool F.H. Odendaal, Morwang Primary , Motheo Public , Ramosukula High, Katlehong Technical High, Rabasotho High, Royal Park College,
Diepsloot Secondary, Itirele Zenzele High, Princess Park College and Rondebult High Schools. The level at which teachers and learners were presenting was of a high standard, and there was a lot of research done by the presenters to support their statements when presenting their topics.
Small Business ExpoThe Small Business Expo was hosted from 6 to 8 September 2018 at the Ticketpro Dome in partnership with Eskom. The Expo’s aim is to develop and promote opportunities for businesses that want to grow, diversify and succeed.

Academy
Eskom Contractor Academy Eskom established the Contractor Academy in November 2007 to support government in skills and infrastructure development, job creation and poverty alleviation.
Eskom Contractor Academy trains emerging contractors and suppliers in fundamental business skills over an eight-month period. Many emerging businesses fail during their first two years of operation and it was against this background that Eskom saw it fit to start the national academy. The specific aim of the academy is to assist, develop and equip emerging contractors and suppliers with financial, legislative, management, leadership, entrepreneurial and technical skills to successfully manage and grow a sustainable business.
The training programme runs over an eight-month period where students attend a study school on campus once a month for a full week. The training programme runs in all nine provinces and training is conducted in Bloemfontein, Kimberley, Cape Town, Durban, East London, Midrand and Polokwane.
The curriculum has been developed from a holistic management and regulatory perspective and focuses on the management of their business finances, people and project management, tendering processes, including the

School supportTeach SA (Teachers Education and Curriculum Help South Africa)Teach SA recruits, selects and places dynamic young graduates who have excelled at university and are willing to make a contribution not only in the classroom, but also in the school community.
The Teach SA programme is a business-led initiative in education that seeks to rectify one of the major factors preventing South Africa from being able to sustainably meet the gross domestic product (GDP) growth requirements needed to alleviate unemployment and poverty. The socio-economic difficulties which South African children still endure have a lasting impact on their prospects. There is a shortage of quality teachers in mathematics and science, a problem which underlies South Africa’s underperforming education system.
Teach SA enables and supports schools that have a shortage of quality teachers in mathematics, science and English (which is the majority of schools in previously disadvantaged areas). It attracts and supports South Africa’s most talented graduates to teach in schools for at least two years to improve learner performance in those subjects.
These future leaders accept that it will take different but deliberate strategies and collaborative partnerships to turn around most of our dysfunctional schools.
Eskom’s association with the programme started in 2011 when it placed 10 ambassadors in five primary schools in the Lephalale area. In 2016 Teach SA implemented programmes in Mpumalanga where Eskom identified the need for support of high school learners and teachers. Medupi Power Station also funded a Teach SA initiative with primary school learners. In 2017 the Eskom Development Foundation funded the Teach SA initiative surrounding the Kriel and Kusile areas in Mpumalanga. This initiative started out with four schools being funded in 2016 and was increased to five in 2017.
In the reporting period the programme was presented in Mpumalanga in the Kriel, Delmas and Ogies (Nkangala) areas.
Since the inception of the programme, 2 888 beneficiaries have benefited from this programme with eight ambassadors in four schools.
The following schools are beneficiaries of the programme in the Mpumalanga area:
• Chief Ampie High School Kriel Power Station
• AD Nkosi High School Kriel Power Station
• Sibongamandla High School Kriel Power Station
• Kriel High School Kriel Power Station
• Mehlwana Secondary School Near Kusile Power Station
Through Eskom, Teach SA has placed 10 high-performing graduates in Mpumalanga, where the Eskom job placement programme is already initiated.
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT continued
Telematics System Mathematics and Science ProgrammeIn demonstrating an ongoing commitment and support to addressing challenges of education and poverty in South Africa, DPE and SOCs embarked on a telematics project rollout to provide mathematics and science subjects (such as physics, chemistry and biology) support that will benefit learners from disadvantaged and underperforming schools across the country.
The programme is owned by the University of Stellenbosch, which provides a satellite-based interactive platform for learners to access education support in various subjects such as mathematics and science with the aim of improving their performance. However, content is developed and copyright is held by the Western Cape Department of Basic Education.
All SOCs have identified schools in provinces where their operations are located, prioritising poor performing
schools in rural areas. In other circumstances excelling schools have been chosen to be the champions of excellence, which allows such schools to share their good practice with surrounding schools.
St John’s College was founded by the late Rev. Bishop Henry Callaway of the Anglican Church and his clergy in 1879. The school is an established mathematics and physical science school since 2002. The school currently has 1 770 learners from grade 8 to 10 and it receives learners from surrounding junior secondary schools. The school is a Dinaledi School and is currently one of the top performing schools in mathematics and physical science. It has received awards for producing top performing learners at provincial and national level since 2002. Its vision is to become the centre of excellence for maths and science in the region.

International Science Fair (ISF) level, to ensure they reach the brightest learners from across the country.
Learners can enter their scientific investigation in one of 13 categories:
• Agricultural sciences
• Animal sciences
• Biomedical and medical sciences
• Chemistry and biochemistry
• Computer sciences and software development
• Earth sciences
• Energy
• Engineering
• Environmental studies
• Mathematics
• Plant sciences
• Physics, astronomy and space sciences
• Social sciences
EEYS currently operates in 35 regions across the country and is run by over 350 volunteers. The annual ISF is the premier science fair on the African continent. The EEYS is therefore seen as the beacon for science and innovation on the continent.
The primary focus of the EEYS intervention at grassroots level is growth in various areas and to ensure participation of least 50% females and 60% previously disadvantaged individuals (PDI) at all levels. In 2018 EEYS achieved 56% female participation and an astounding 73% PDI participation. A total of 1 969 schools participated in school, district and regional expos (47% growth from 2017).
Learners who excel at the regional expos are invited to participate in the ISF held annually in Johannesburg.
At the International Science Fair, learners stand a chance of winning medals as well as high value awards like full bursaries. The outstanding achievement in 2018 was general improvement in the quality of projects and an increase in the number of PDI learners winning medals. The overall winners at ISF, selected purely based on their marks awarded by the category judges, won R75 000 for the senior winner and R50 000 for the junior winner. Thirty organisations presented special awards to 104 recipients. Over R14 million in prizes were awarded at ISF this year.
• Seven countries attended, six from Africa – Ghana, Nigeria, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Lesotho and Kenya – and Mexico from South America. Siemens sponsored the full costs of four of the African countries
• A learner academy was initiated to stimulate ideas among the finalists to be more innovative next year and beyond. The ISF director selected scientists from a variety of organisations to present these talks
• Outstanding projects were selected to represent South Africa at:
– Taiwan International Science Fair
– China International Science Fair
– Turkey International Science Fair
– Kenya Science Fair
– Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (Intel ISEF)
– Broadcom Masters
– Sweden International Youth Science Seminar and Nobel Week
Working with under-resourced schools is a huge challenge to EEYS as well as the DBE. EEYS has devised a strategy to assist these schools and educators in an effort to level the playing fields, by using a school readiness matrix designed by EEYS. Though EEYS has been expanding to new schools, the intervention has ensured that projects are of a good standard to enable learners from previously disadvantaged backgrounds to compete on an equal footing with learners from well-resourced schools.
These new interventions include:
• Mentorship programmes at school level
• School science clubs
• Science camps
• Learners’ academy
Some of these interventions, like the mentorship programme, are new to South Africa and EEYS is developing a model to be used by other competitions and Olympiads. This initiative is funded by the Department of Science and Technology. Over the years, EEYS has been generating many positive stories and is being well received by the press. The Eskom Expo generated an outstanding PR value of R38.9 million for the 2018/19 financial year. Many learners and volunteers across the country have featured in print, social media, radio and TV coverage.
EEYS was a finalist in the National Science and Technology awards and later went on to win the South African National Energy Association (SANEA) Energy Education award.
Eskom’s Tertiary Education Support Programme (TESP)One of Eskom’s initiatives to address challenges in education is the TESP, an initiative aimed at contributing to the building of human resource capacity at tertiary education institutions through investment in industry-related research and education for building the industry skills pipeline.

There has been a remarkable improvement in the 2018 matric results. Although a few schools dropped from the previous year, the overall performance is commendable. Moreko Secondary School in Limpopo obtained 100% pass rate despite Mbilwi being named the top school in Limpopo. The rationale is based on the total number of learners who wrote the examination as well as the number of Bachelor certificates produced by the individual schools.
Eskom Expo for Young Scientists
The Expo for Young Scientists (EEYS) was established by the late Dr Derek Gray in 1980 to achieve the following:
• Encourage the youth of South Africa to participate in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and innovation (STEMI) activities in order to promote an interest in these areas and develop scientific skills
• Create opportunities for young students to develop and pursue their interests in an encouraging and rewarding environment, and to improve tertiary education prospects
EEYS is an exposition, or science fair, where students are given the opportunity to display their projects about their own scientific investigations. At EEYS, students can discuss their work with judges, teachers, students from other schools, parents and other interested people. By participating in EEYS, students increase their awareness of the wonders of science, add to their knowledge and broaden their scientific horizons.
EEYS is a service rendered to the South African community, which has been supported by Eskom and other sponsors for a number of years. EEYS seeks to engage young people in high quality scientific research.
Projects put forward for exhibition are carefully judged in terms of creativity, originality, scientific rigor and presentation. From the 35 regional expos, about 500 projects are selected for the international finals event. The various marketing initiatives are an ongoing process to recruit more schools to participate in EEYS activities, as well as conducting more workshops for judges, educators and learners.
The EEYS process involves the following:
• Communication is sent to schools early in the school year. This includes Expo guide books, posters, entry forms, etc. Over the months preceding the regional Expos, which would typically take place from July to September each year, regions organise training for teachers and workshops for learners and identify new schools for participation
• At the regional Expos, projects are judged, prizes awarded and selections made (within quotas) to participate at the international finals
• At the international finals about 200 judges are drawn from the NGO sector, education departments, tertiary institutions and the corporate sector. Participants are awarded gold, silver and bronze medals as well as a host of special awards
• A number of winning projects are selected to participate at various International Science Fairs ranging from Asia to North America
Eskom has owned the title rights for the Eskom Expo for Young Scientists since 2001.

The programme has been in existence for more than 26 years, and has evolved since its humble beginnings. It started from supporting around 300 students and now supports more than 1 000 students per year in the areas of science, engineering and technology.
The objectives of the programme include: developing students with an increased level of knowledge and skills in science, engineering and technology; increasing the knowledge base of lecturing staff at higher education institutions; retention of lecturing staff; increasing the pool of potential employees; exposing industry experts to larger specialist networks locally and internationally; and providing a platform for networking and continuous development. This provides universities with a platform to understand the needs of industry, develop capability to conduct research and support learning delivery for the industry.
TESP’s main success relies on the joint partnership with industry and higher education institutions. It is able to identify industry specialists who work closely with academics in specialisation areas to further research, education and capacity development in these critical and scarce core skills. This joint working relationship has been further supported by national government programmes such as the Technology and Human Resources for Industry Programme – a flagship research and development programme of the Department of Trade and Industry. The programme has also been used to solicit international partnerships and funding support in certain areas. TESP also works closely with the higher education structures in the country.
During the 2018 academic year, a total of 161 grantholders (academics) from 16 universities and four universities of technology were supported through TESP, with 1 149 students as follows:
• 270 Masters
• 301 Doctoral
• 55 Post-Doctoral
• 101 B-Tech
• 132 M-Tech
• 25 D-Tech
In total, 265 BSc (Hons) students within the TESP centres are being supported in the various degree programmes. Grantholders have been supported with grants ranging between R50 000 and R200 000. The grantholders submit annual progress reports and financial statements during the year.
The successes of TESP include developing research centres at universities in several areas related to Eskom’s business which have undertaken contract research work, produced academic papers, developed academics, supported the skills pipeline, and contributed to transformation in the science, engineering and technology fields. The technical networks of specialisation supported by TESP include:
• Renewable energy
• Primary energy
• Asset management
• Power transmission systems
• Power systems analysis and control
• Power electronics and control systems
• Electrification
• Energy efficiency and demand side management
• Metering and measurement
• Integrated system and energy planning
• Information and communications technology
• Electrical machines
• Environmental impacts
• Water, materials and mechanical systems
• Human resource development
• Health and safety
The TESP feedback meeting was held on 30 January 2019 at the Central University of Technology. The event was attended by 79 delegates, many from universities of technology. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss progress on the projects and collaboration between the universities and the universities of technology. This year’s event focused on technology innovation and how to take research further into commercialisation. Various suggestions were made on how to adapt TESP to support academics who are taking products and services into commercialisation.
Education: Stellenbosch University Bridging Programme The Eskom Development Foundation supports the Science and Mathematics Bridging Programme of the University of Stellenbosch (SciMathUS). The year-long SciMathUS programme, managed by Stellenbosch University’s Centre for Pedagogy, helps students from educationally disadvantaged communities to gain access to higher education and also prepares them for success in their tertiary studies.
During the 2018/19 financial year, Eskom supported 50 students from previously disadvantaged communities to participate in this programme. To date, Eskom has supported 300 students to participate in the programme.
Programme objectivesSciMathUS is a second opportunity university preparation programme, offered to educationally disadvantaged students at the University of Stellenbosch. The programme is an intensive, holistic year-long exercise. Apart from preparing to rewrite the national senior certificate examination in mathematics and physical sciences, the programme aims to equip students with the skills to study successfully in higher education; enhance their reasoning, time management and problem solving skills; and teach them to take responsibility for their own learning.
On average, more than 88% of the students who complete the programme successfully enrol in higher education.

Rural School Infrastructure Development ProgrammeThe programme is aimed at addressing inadequate infrastructure by contributing to the building, renovation and construction of rural schools.
Estcourt Senior Secondary SchoolThe Foundation made a donation to the Estcourt Senior Secondary School, which is located in the rural area of Wembezi in Estcourt, KZN Province. The school had requested the Foundation to assist with infrastructure development in order to improve the learning environment.
There was a great need for assistance based on the learning conditions which included overcrowding in classrooms and limited resources inhibiting the enhancement of the quality of education being provided to the school’s 1 047 learners and educators.
The Foundation built an administration block and four classrooms. Eskom’s intervention had a huge impact on the quality of learning, and made the environment friendlier for the learners, educators and support staff.
Dr J.L. Dube High SchoolThe Foundation made a donation to Dr J.L. Dube High School which is located in KwaMashu Township, 20 kilometres north of Durban. The township has very high levels of poverty and HIV/Aids. The school had requested the Foundation to assist with infrastructure development in order to improve the learning environment.

Kwasa (Alfred Duma Municipality)Kwasa Cooperative is a poultry farming business that was registered as a cooperative. This was a start-up; however, the cooperative members have been proactive in learning about the sector. The cooperative was registered by part of the community that lives around Ingula Pump Storage Scheme (power station). The power station encouraged the surrounding communities to register NGOs/NPOs to benefit from the legacy of CSI after the power station was built.
On 17 March 2016, the foundation approved funding to the value of R2 796 621 towards the incubation of the cooperative on egg production by Emseni Community Development. Emseni is operating under the registered company DPM Holdings as a non-profit company to incubate the cooperative for three years including implementation.
The scope of work included:
• Building an egg layer structure, ablution block, administration block and a security office and fence
• The purchase of point-of-lay pullets, a grading machine and a packaging machine
• Carrying operating costs
• Borehole fitting, testing and water storage
• Equipping their office
• Implementing an environmental impact assessment
• Taking the cooperative personnel for short courses
The implementation started with 2 500 birds on 18 April 2019 while initiating the environmental impact assessment process. The project is showing the impact to the community and the surrounding farmers at Ingula. In the first year of incubation period (March 2018), the Emseni team was ensuring the business is linked to proper and stable markets so as to establish sustainability and self-sufficiency. All operations and engagements were done conjointly with the Kwasa Management Board. Recent visits by Kwasa to Nu-Dawn eggs ensured and cemented capacity building and skills development. Weekly meetings to Nu-Dawn eggs by Emseni and Kwasa to discuss operations and challenges provided information for the reports to the Kwasa Management Board.
In the first six weeks of production (starting date 18 April 2019), they have realised R16 000 profit on egg production.
Emseni has identified and delivers to the following markets:
• Savemore Spar
• Liberty Supermarket
• Freedom Cash and Carry
• Elangeni Supermarket
• Faheem
The purpose of the project was to fund the incubation of the cooperative on egg production.
to the school’s 1 386 learners and educators.
The Foundation built an administration block for the school which made a huge impact on the quality of learning, and enhanced the learning environment for the learners, educators and support staff. Building the administration block freed up two classrooms which were previously occupied by educators as a staffroom.
Kantolo Pre-schoolNkantolo is a village in Mbizana Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. It is known as the birthplace of former African National Congress president and revolutionary, Oliver Tambo. Kantolo Pre-school is located in Nkantolo village.
The majority of households in Mbizana are of a rural nature as close to 95% of the population resides in the surrounding villages, with the rest living in the urban area. This results in natural resources proving a strong base for basic survival as those living in rural areas turn to subsistence farming for their livelihoods. Unemployment
is a crisis throughout South Africa, and Mbizana still remains affected as a large portion of the population is still struggling to secure formal employment.
The school had requested the Foundation to assist with infrastructure development in order to improve the learning environment. There was a great need for assistance on infrastructure as there were no classrooms and only limited resources were available, inhibiting the enhancement of the quality of early childhood education being provided to the school’s 73 learners and educators.
The Foundation installed the following:
• Three fully equipped edutainer classrooms for 25 children each – adapted for people living with disabilities – with ramp and extra adult furniture.
• A fully equipped service centre 6m2 container with aluminium rust proof windows, one whirly bird, full external decoration and adapted for people living with disabilities. It comes with the following:
– Kitchen, stove, fridge, cupboard, electrical connection
– Office including cupboard, wooden desk and chair
– Sick bay including bed and cupboard
– Four waterless ablution units (including one adapted for people with disabilities), all with a folding seat suitable for adults and children to use
• 300 linear meters welded wire mesh fencing with double gate,
• Supply of different toys
Eskom’s intervention had a huge impact on the quality of learning, and made the environment friendlier for the learners, educators and support saff.

ESKOM DEVELOPMENT FOUNDATION NPC | 3534 | FOUNDATION REPORT | 31 MARCH 2019
Burgesfort (Greater Tubatse Fetakgomo Municipality)Ntwampe Technical High School is in the rural part of Limpopo. The school is the only school that offers electrical technical subjects, within a radius of 30km. It accommodates learners from the local areas up to 20km, since there are no other schools offering this technical expertise.
The Deputy Minister for DPE Honorable Dikobe Ben Martins made a commitment to the Limpopo provincial government during a provincial engagement last year, to create a technological centre of excellence in Limpopo through upgrading a technical high school. Ntwampe Technical High School was chosen for this purpose. DPE, through the Deputy Director General Economic Impact and Policy Alignment, has engaged the three large SOCs to assist with the implementation of this commitment.
Mr Mphahlele, the school deputy principal commented, “In this growing economy, with technology changing so fast, entrepreneurs need to be trained in new technology so that it can be easy for them to do their job.“
The purpose of the project was to fund the schools with mechanical workshop equipment.
The impact of the project• There has been an increase in the number of electrical
learners and in the subject pass rate.
• The reputation of the school improved through meeting the requirements from SETA
• The focus on student development and quality labour force has empowered the learners to be at their best both professionally and personally
• Ntwampe has become the best technical school in the province, providing outstanding performance, quality education and commitment to excellence
• Assisting the school to focus on producing lifelong learners who are fully prepared for further learning and tertiary education
• Completing the school’s mission on leading and providing its community with responsive, relevant and quality education and training, resulting in academic excellence and practical experience
Thubelihle Special Opportunity SchoolThubelihle Special Opportunity School is based in Ladysmith. The school caters for children with mild intellectual disabilities. The school was started by Miss Shabalala after realising that her son has learning problems. The learners at the school start from the age of six to 18 years. The aim of the school is to equip learners with skills so they can be employed or open small businesses and be independent. The school offers skills such as food gardening, carpentry, sewing, cooking and computer skills.
The purpose of the project was to fund the special school for mobile classrooms, carpentry equipment, stoves, sewing machines and learning material.
The impact of the projectThe donation has improved the standard of the school and has raised awareness to the surrounding community and the school learners about how Eskom as a business unit harmonises its activities with local communities. Awareness on electricity utilisation and the reporting of people stealing electricity was embraced and supported by the learners.
